You did mention 'underground crossover' but at the same time you've mentioned bands like Carnivore, Corrosion etc. So my question would be, did you purposely omit DRI from the list you mentioned because of sheer obviousness? If not, then check out 'Crossover' and 'Dealing with It'

Funerot - Better, will check out their debut album, is their second album similar?

Everything up to ...And Then You Fucking Die, Man is similar to Invasions... and well worth checking out. The Stranded in Time EP is my favorite thing they put out and the Nova II EP is also really good. ATYFD,M also rules but it's definitely a departure from the sound they'd established up to that point, way more punk and also rock ala Thin Lizzy influence and less thrash and crossover vibes.

Hi everyone! I need some underground crossover thrash recs, since the more punkish thrash metal is what I prefer. I've listened to quite a bit of thrash, so nothing too obvious. Some crossover albums I dig:

Hey guys, I've been wanting to expand my thrash playlists lately. What I'm looking for is both a style and a feel; on Metallica's album ...And Justice For All, you've got that tight, very technical and almost mechanical sound but also a strong vibe of aggression and pessimism in the lyrics. I'm not really looking for Metallica worship, but basically I want something technical, progressive, very cold and precise and with accusative/cynical lyrics.

Would Heathen's 'Victims of Deception' and 'Evolution of Chaos' be too obvious? If not check them out.

Been jamming this one lately, pretty cool album that may fill your request.

Not bad at all, I dig the riffs and the feel's about how I wanted. Vocals are kind of weak, though.

I've tried them before, but the music isn't as aggressive as I'd like. Still a very talented band, though.

Justice is a unique masterpiece. It may surprise you that the closest thing I've heard to its sound and structure is early Meshuggah. I don't pay much attention to lyrics, so I can't help you there.

Thrash similar to Slayer 83-90, Sepultura 86-91, Kreator 86-90, Sodom 84-89, Destruction 84-86, Sarcofago 87-91, Hellhammer/Early Celtic Frost, Demolition Hammer, Morbid Saint you get the picture. I will always never be to proud or afraid to ask for recs on the basis that I might not look like a little know it all who can no longer consume useful info. I would like to say NO METALHEAD knows everything so everyone stop acting like you do.

This is a recent thrash find that I reviewed recently. Maybe you'll like it.

I found a recent thrash metal underground project of Brazil, I think it is recent because it only has one song so far.Sounds like a mix of Metallica and Testament.I quite enjoyed it, see what you think.

I'm interested in checking out some thrash metal bands where you walk away from it thinking not only "whoa those were some killer riffs" but also "and what a great singer too!". I'm not looking for any specific kind of singing, so long as it's pitched (not harsh vocals as cool as those can be, but gritty stuff is great) and plays a big role in the quality of the music in some way.

This is more like "whoa that was some killer singer" but also "and what great riffs too!", and leans toward a more complex, groove side of thrash. Here's a couple of songs that shows his versatility. He can go from Phil Anselmo to Geoff Tate.

I'm looking for Mexican thrash or death/thrash albums from the 80's through early 90's. Old school only, no exceptions. I'm also looking for bands that released full length albums, not just demos. I would prefer albums with decent sound quality and production. More on the thrash than death side of things. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Ok i recently got into Coven (i guess they changed their name to Coven 6669, kinda stupid) and i was wanting more late 80's early 90's thrash that brings the fuckin riffs. For context, i prefer Morbid Saint's second album to the first one, i like chunky heavy riffs that mean business, production is not a factor. I'm aware of just about all the staple bands, so no need to recommend Vio-lence or Coma of Souls. That second and third tier is expansive though and if i missed a band like Coven for so long then i'm anxious to see what else i might be missing. Again not just any thrash from the 80s/90s i want something heavy perhaps bordering on death metal as long as it riffs crunchy and hard. Also yes i know of Massacra, Invocator, Messiah, and Demolition Hammer they would be good recs but i know them already. I'm also big on Attomica and Sepultura if that helps. Just a shot, if there's nothing then thanks for reading anyways.

Some bands/albums that bring the riffs (though you've probably heard most of them):

Razor - EverythingSadus - Illusions/Swallowed In Black (insanely speedy stuff, particularly Illusions)Blood Feast - Kill For PleasureCyclone - Brutal DestructionMorbid Scream - The Signal To Attack: 1986-1990 (not riffs upon riffs in the same way as Eternal Nightmare, for example, but the riffs that are here are great)Sindrome - Into The Halls of Extermination/Vault of Inner ConscienceAssassin - The Upcoming Terror Gammacide - Victims of ScienceMetal Messiah - Honour Among ThievesParadox - Heresy (pretty technical, but the riffs are great)Incubus - Beyond The Unknown (this one is a major ripper. On par with Demolition Hammer for heaviness)Arachnid - ArachnidTorture - Storm Alert (this album is brutal beyond belief. There are some questionable moments, but is essential nonetheless)

Edit: I'll second that Devastation recommendation above. Not sure how I missed that one.
